There is a Shadowrun-hack for The Sprawl (which is PbtA). It is pay what you want and is looking good so far. This as an insta-buy. I definitely have to try it out.

The rules of Quidditch annoy me each time I read or watch Harry Potter.

Schienenersatzverkehr mit übervollen Bussen. Da klappt das mit dem Abstand nicht so richtig. Da hat die S-Bahn Berlin mal wieder richtig mitgedacht…

PSA: Am Samstag ist das Strandbad Wannsee schon ausgebucht, am Sonntag bekommt man noch Tickets. #berlin

Oh, the new no. 1-super computer runs on ARM and does 1 exaflop

The Record of Lodoss War-RPG is like when you translate English to Japanese and then back to English, right? RoLW is based on DnD, so why did they create an RPG based on RoLW?

This is a great rpg-idea: you play the clean-up service who cleans up after wizard-accidents so non-mages do not find out

When machines will rule over the world the only non-free people will be Caucasians because of biased machine learning models. As my wife said this could be a pretty cool book.

Do I need new t-shirts from Qwertee or is it just consumerism?

Na ja, bei 1,5m Abstand würde ich für den Regelbetrieb einer Schule ja sogar schätzen, dass eine Verdopplung der Räume nicht ausreicht, sondern eher eine Verdreifachung gebraucht wird (plus die entsprechenden Lehrer).

Kein Mindestabstand in den Schulen nach dem Sommerferien. Warum wundert das jemanden? Es wurde doch mehrfach gesagt, dass es dann Regelbetrieb geben soll. Das geht mit der Anstandsregel nicht. Wie denn auch bei der Größe und Anzahl der Räume einer Schule?

TIL: There are fingernail printers. They can even print photos onto a fingernail. A bit pricey (like 800€) but this is pretty damn cool.

Nightmares from Wikipedia: “When the wasp larva hatches, it creates a small hole in the spider’s (tarantula) abdomen, then enters and feeds voraciously, avoiding vital organs for as long as possible to keep the spider alive.”

I am re-watching Malcolm in the Middle and there are everywhere the good old iMac G3s. I really like their look. I am big fan of that era of Macs. The colorful iMacs and iBooks were looking fun. And the the Powerbook was really another thing in comparison.

I have Apple Music and Family Sharing. I synchronized my personal music with Apple Music on a Mac and can see the songs on my devices. Why doesn’t it turn up for example on the devices the kids have? There is quite some stuff in there especially for them.

Juggling is even harder than expected.

It seems there is a third time in like two years where I will have data loss even though I use zfs. Two times a mirror was involved. Yeah me. It isn’t indestructible and will fail like everything else.

And it would have been cool if she would have done the bar exam and would be a PI with the perks of being a lawyer. That could have been already used in the books. Cliff wouldn’t be that useful anymore but they could have found a way I guess to include him.

So, I watched now the Veronica Mars-movie and read the books. Next up: getting season 4. They could have made a better reason why Veronica gets back into the PI-game by stating that she can help people instead of making lawsuits against rich people go away.

The new stealth bomber apparently runs with Kubernetes. Aren’t stealth bombers equipped with nuclear warheads?

Auschwitz-Birkenau needs apparently donations because of the pandemic. You can donate here:

My eyes bleed. I looked too much at ssl-certificates today.

The recent trend to put self-promotional tweets under a tweet that got a lot of replies is kind of annoying.

Sigmata - a real cool tabletop rpg-game about resistance which is quite cyberpunky based on 80s-technology is currently pay what you want (incl. free).
